Tottenham Hotspur had scouts watching Radu Dragusin last week as the Genoa defender came up against Juventus just a couple of weeks before the January transfer window opens.

Radu Dragusin appears to be a top target for Tottenham next month. reports that a new centre-back is the priority for Ange Postecoglou. And the 21-year-old is clearly on the radar, with the club ready to step up their interest.

Dragusin’s agent has already claimed that there have been discussions with Spurs. And The Telegraph is now reporting that Tottenham’s scouts cast their eye over the Romania international on Friday night.

Genoa drew the game 1-1 with Juve, his former club. According to , Dragusin won three aerial duels and made six clearances in the game.

The Telegraph reports that he will cost £26 million. But the Tottenham hierarchy are big admirers of the youngster.

It looks to be imperative that Spurs sign another defender when the window is open. Micky van de Ven is set to be out for a little while longer with injury.

The Dutchman has been a big miss after proving to be an inspired signing following his move in the summer transfer window.

In fairness, Ben Davies has done very well since stepping into the side. But Cristian Romero seems to have slipped back into some old habits in the last few weeks.

Dragusin does not have a huge amount of experience in Serie A. But neither did Guglielmo Vicario before his own move to North London in the summer. And that move has worked out pretty well for Spurs.

Obviously, that does not necessarily mean that Dragusin would also be a success if he came in given that it is the middle of the season.

But given how important it is that they sign another defender, perhaps it will help convince Tottenham to get a deal done.
